”Arena (Silver Cupcakes Platter)” said:
A platter placed on a table in Sugarcube Corner's basement. It cannot be dug into and does not rust. The stage itself is nothing out of the ordinary.
However, each round Pinkie Pie will arrive and feed each Pokemon a cupcake specifically made from a certain pony. Specific afflictions and boosts are received based on what pony the cupcake was made out of. Each cupcake can only be served once, and the effects of them only last for that round. The list of the cupcakes and their effects are listed:
Twilight: Will inflict a STAB psychic attack on the person who eats it.
Applejack: Each pokemon will gain +1 attack and +1 defense because bulkiness.
Rarity: Will heal 5% health and energy with generosity.
Rainbow Dash: Each pokemon will gain +3 speed.
Fluttershy: Attack and special attack lowered -2 with status affects removed.
Celestia: Each pokemon will go God Tier and become their final stage.
Luna: It will become night. All weather will be removed and dark/ghost type moves will gain a STAB boost in addition to STAB.
Lyra: If Bon-Bon was eaten within two rounds then both pokemon will become attracted to each other.
DJ-PON3: Special attack and special defense will be raised by +1 because of coolness.
Bon-Bon: If Lyra was eaten within two rounds then both pokemon will become attracted to each other.
Derpy: Each pokemon becomes confused.
Baked bads: Each pokemon will lose 5% health and 5% energy.
Big Macintosh: Each pokemon will lose -3 speed because he's slow, but they wikl also gain +2 attack because of his bulk.
Trixie: Each pokemon will gain +3 in every stat, but be inflicted with confusion, burn, and paralysis.
If the battle lasts through every possible cupcake, Pinkie Pie will come in every round and inflict 10% damage on every Pokemon until there is a victor.

As the second round begins, Officer readies himself for an attack. He thinks about his orders a bit first, though—there’s no way in heck a Stunfisk like him (at least in his current state) could make five clones. Two, though, he feels like he can manage. He begins to hop around, but then the little glowy light from before flits in front of his face, catching his attention and making him fall down pathetically instead of completing his attack successfully. Meanwhile, Nephtys chuckles a bit; her attack now is half-useless! But it’ll still work. The Ralts raises her arms, releasing a barrage of glowing leaves. The leaves all hone in on Officer, cutting into the Stunfisk’s body as he struggles to ignore the little glowing orb of light.
Soon he succeeds, and is back on his…whatever it is that Stunfisk stand on. He quickly decides to trip his foe up for that mean little barrage just now. Officer focuses, then jumps as high as he can—which, admittedly, is not all that high. But the real brunt of the attack comes when he slams himself down on the cupcake platter. Circular waves extend in every direction, and though they seem to have no effect on the humans in the arena, Nephtys is thrown back and forth by the huge tremor.
Well, that wasn’t very nice at all!, thinks Nephtys as she pushes herself off of the ground and dusts herself off.
Let’s see how he likes this! The Ralts pauses for a second before dashing straight forward at Officer, her hand beginning to glow a light bluish color. She leaps up, fist reeled back, then as she comes down above Officer’s head, she slams it down in his face. The attack chills Officer to the bone, but the Stunfisk was prepared for the attack—only when Nephtys returns to her own side of the battlefield does she notice the citation for Assault and Battery stuck to her arm.
She examines the ticket for a second, then stuffs it inside her robe. Whatever it was, it was probably useless. As Officer watches, he begins to get angry. How
dare she just brush that ticket off like it was nothing! In retaliation, the Stunfisk begins to charge himself with electricity, discharging a giant bolt toward Nephtys. The Thunderbolt strikes her hard, but she manages to concentrate on her own attack, rushing forward again as soon as the electricity dies down. A moment later, Officer has had his face bashed in again, and Nephtys is stuck with yet another citation on her arm.
And thus the three actions of the round were over. Nephtys stashed the second ticket inside her robe as well, then began to look for the referee. He, like, disappeared or something. Then, a shadow fell over the platter. Oh, that explained a lot. As Pinkie Pie’s pink flank disappeared up the staircase to the main room of Sugarcube Corner, two cupcakes with white frosting and shiny sprinkles plopped down, one in front of each of the battlers. As each of the pokémon nervously eats their cupcake, they realize that this one is much better than the last one; they feel healthier rather than hurt now. And there Superbird is, waving his flags to close the round now that Pinkie is gone.
Round Two End!

hilarious.
